Safety, trust & environment

Spending time with your pets is a privilege. Your home is your pet's comfort zone. I stick to what works for them — their space, their schedule, their quirks. I'm a careful observer, so if something seems off behaviorally or physically, I'll flag it rather than wait and see. I'm attentive to behavioral changes or anything that seems off, and I'm comfortable managing medications, including injections, so pets with medical needs are always welcome. The goal is simple: your pet feels safe, and so do you.

Pet care experience

My house runs on cat hair and Alaskan Klee Kai energy — Annie, Mr. Darcy, and Benni keep me well-trained. I offer drop-ins, dog walking, and house sitting. I'll follow your routine or adapt to your pet's needs. Adept at medication administration, including injections. You'll hear from me — photos, texts, video updates, FaceTime if you just need to see their face. I'm easy to reach and big on communication. My cancellation policy is as flexible as possible, because schedules change and I understand that. Available weekday afternoons and evenings, weekends, and overnights. All breeds, all sizes, all personalities welcome. Your pet's in good hands — Benni can vouch.

Irene did a great job checking in on Moe and making sure he was eating. I appreciated all the photos as well!

Irene has taken care of my dog Arlo frequently over the past few years. He loves spending time with her, and always has the best time! He’s a Shiba Inu, so he has some quirky personality traits which Irene has taken great care in managing. She is actually able to get him to obey commands, and he always listens to her. Irene will always go above and beyond in taking care of any animals and id definitely recommend her to anyone!

Irene has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She’s reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the pets she looks after. From the start, she made me feel completely comfortable and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I returned. Irene goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in her care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter on Rover.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
